Context models focus on the specific experiences that shape each person's life and they view these unique circumstances as important in determining how development proceeds. Stage models emphasize the commonalities of development and specify that all (or most) individuals pass through the same ordered stages in the same sequence and at approximately the same age. Piaget's, Schaie's, and Erikson's theories all emphasize this universal, ordered sequence of stages, whereas Goleman's model instead focuses on basic tasks that contribute to emotional development. Thus, Goleman's model is the best example of a context model.
